PLACING AN ORDER

Pre order

If you are pre ordering a product on our website and you want to guarantee you have it on release date select express shipping. With standard shipping we are unable to guarantee you will have your order on release date.

Important: Please note that for pre-orders purchased via MasterCard, VISA or PayPal we now take payment 5 days prior to shipping so please ensure you have funds available in advance of the release of the game.

Important: Please note that for pre-orders purchased via MasterCard, VISA or PayPal we now take payment 5 days before the expected shipping date so please ensure you have funds available in advance of the release of the game.

When you place your pre-order an authorisation is taken which can hold funds for up to seven working days. Funds will then be released and taken closer to the shipping date.

Please note, pre-paid credit cards will capture payment at time of ordering.

I am having issues with using my credit card on your site

Credit cards can be tricky sometimes and need some investigation when they don't work as they should. Before getting in contact about a credit card issue please double check the available funds on the card, expiry date and that you have entered the correct number and verification code from the back of your card. If you continue to have difficulty please contact your bank or financial institution to ensure that no holds have been placed on the card.

If all these items seem to be in check then please get in contact so we can investigate other possible reasons at hello@gamestop.ie

Digital Products

These products will be delivered digitally. Once your order is verified, your voucher code will be available from the "My Dashboard > My Orders" section of the website. Please note: In order to securely process your order, our team will review orders placed by customers who do not have a recent order history with GameStop. If your order is placed outside of normal office hours, this may delay processing of your order. Subsequent order should dispatch instantly.

I want to return a product I bought online

Not what you thought? That's okay; you can return products anywhere up to 14 days from receiving the delivery as long as the product and packaging are in brand new condition and unopened.

The easiest way is to pop down to your local GameStop store and return the items across the counter for a quick exchange. Remember to bring your invoice with you. Before you call to your local store please contact our customer service centre at hello@gamestop.ie

If you prefer you can send it back to our online returns department, keep in mind though that if shipping back an item it will take a few days for us to process the return/exchange. Before you send it back to our returns department please contact our customer service centre at hello@gamestop.ie

Will I have to pay the postage costs for returns?

We are happy to reimburse postage costs for any good that has a manufacturers fault. Unfortunately we can't cover any postage costs if it's change of mind. Any product sent back to us without first being authorised by our Customer Service Team we are unable to refund postage costs.

GAME PROTECTION

What is this?

Game Protection offers peace of mind for gamers, when purchasing their games. GameStop will replace each game, that is found to be damaged/faulty, within 12 months of purchase. This does not affect your statutory rights.

There are three types of protection available depending on the value of your game.

€1 Bronze Game Protection for any game under €9.99

€2 Silver Game Protection for any game under €29.99

€3 Gold Game Protection for any game over €29.99

How Does it Work?

GameStop will replace each game, that is found to be damaged/faulty, within 12 months of purchase. This does not affect your statutory rights.

GameStop will offer a replacement used version of the same game, if available, or the customer can choose an alternative used game of similar value.

Game Protection allows for one game Replacement in a 12 month period.
Return postage will be refunded off your original transaction.

Are there any terms and conditions?

Game Protection is available for all Console Games (PC Games, Consoles and Accessories are not covered).
The Game must be returned complete with the manual and box.

Game Protection must be placed in the same order as the game.
If you purchase one Game Protection and a number of games, you can choose the game you wish to use the Protection on (once the game is in the correct price range for the Game Protection purchased).

If game that is purchased includes a bundle accessory, only the game/software is protected.
If the correct Game Protection for your Game is not purchased Game Protection is invalid.
